In this powerful first installment of our two-part deep dive on immigration in America, Rick and Tim break it down to something startling and increasingly unavoidable: historical parallels. From the early tactics of Nazi Germany to the Japanese American internment camps on U.S. soil, we examine how cruelty becomes policy, how fear becomes a weapon, and how the U.S. immigration system has evolved into something darker than most Americans realize.
With humor (because if we don’t laugh, we’ll cry), personal stories, and a mountain of research, we break down:
👉 The rise of state-sanctioned intimidation
👉 Propaganda-driven fear campaigns
👉 ICE’s explosive new funding and militarized tactics
👉 Why modern enforcement resembles 1930s authoritarian playbooks
👉 How legal loopholes are weaponized by people like Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, & Jeff Sessions
👉 The human cost: families separated, communities terrorized, and due process eroded
We also look at disturbing recent cases, like the shooting of Marimar Martinez in Chicago, and examine how propaganda, cruelty-as-deterrence, and profit motive collide to shape today’s immigration reality. We’re talking detention expansion, off-shoring asylum seekers, CECOT-style camps, and the cultural normalization of dehumanization.
This episode blends history, politics, community experience, and straight-up receipts to show why “it can’t happen here” has never been less true.
This week’s “Let's Trigger Rictor” segment is about the use of pejoratives. Who gets to say them? Should they even be said by anyone? What about context? Clips included are from CNN, NBC News, ABC News, Sky News, Inside Edition, 60 Minutes, Fox News, Slice Full Doc, South Park, The Boston Globe, ProPublica, Smithsonian Channel, Women’s March Win, Reuters, Rupaul’s Drag Race, Bethenny, Noticias, Tiktokkers: ms_ryan, mollaanbbingtoncompass, julesandjessie, peeberr, marxistajohan, jon59663, and wily_lara.
If you appreciate truth, context, and the occasional drag-queen-level read, you’re in the right place.
Let’s break it down.
